The earliest other card is Moltres 21/53 in Wizards Black Star Promos (1999). That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 120 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Illustration Rare. Toshinao Aoki illustrated that card, and mashu illustrated this one. 27 other cards of Moltres list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads mashu. I count 9 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

30th Celebration set binder is where a full 30th Celebration set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Moltres can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
